The current engine, an historic piece of equipment in its own right, was installed in 1992 after an extensive re-build / remanufacture. It runs at maximum 300 rpm. The engine has an air and manual clutch for shifting, forward neutral and reverse. This Atlas Imperial was built in 1940 and initially installed in a commercial fishing vessel which was conscripted during WWII for daily mail transportation in Alaska. This engine continues to provide safe and reliable propulsion and is ready to cruise.

There are numerous spare engine parts including four new heads.

The prop is a four blade 50" by 38"
The steering is either wheel or "jog stick" compressed air.

The watermaker is a 600 gal per day system that feeds the 1,000 water tank.

She has multiple electrical systems. The 32V DC is required for the radar, autopilot and emergency lighting for the engine room. The 12V DC is required for the diesel powered generator starter and the communication radios. The 120V AC is for the normal lighting, all wall heaters but one, head flush and domestic water supply. The 220V AC single phase is for the backup air compressor, engine room exhaust fan and the anchor windless. The main generator is 20KW Isuzu with both 32V and 12V alternator powered Isuzu diesel. There is also a 5KW 120V diesel generator for quieter periods when less power is required.

This boat was constructed by shipwrights in Astoria, Oregon and launched in 1890. She was built as a steam vessel to carry passengers and freight between Astoria and Tillamook. She has had many conversions but has been in commercial service her entire life. Following a fire in 1922 she was re-built from the waterline up and the hull was lengthened to 78 feet. At that time the steam engine was removed and a three cylinder 110 hp engine was installed. She has been owned and operated as tug in continual service until 1982.

The last major work was completed following a stormy accident caused by a "breakaway" vessel in 2010. The forward bulkhead and down to the waterline and forward to the stem had to be replaced or repaired. That work was done by Haven Boat Works in Port Townsend.
